The origin is workers' and peasants.

When choosing their future path in life, the genes of the warriors won. I decided to enter the naval school. With the order of an old warrior, a veteran of the Second World War, a friend of his father, a district police officer and just uncle Vanya: “Happy feet, son, and as far as possible. May God grant you to become a man ”set off. I entered and then successfully graduated from the S.O. Makarov in Vladivostok in 1978

He began his service as an officer in the position of commander of a communications combat unit - head of the radio technical service of the most obsolete submarine of the Black Sea Fleet of project 613 "S-348" (commander 3rd rank captain V.P. Zhuchkov) in the composition of 153 submarines (brigade commander Rear Admiral B.M. Tsarev .), then 155 submarines (brigade commander 1st rank captain Karlov A.A.).

The intensity of the service on this old ship taught the fight for survivability, the improvement of technical means, knowledge of the structure of the ship, boat management, to appreciate people and male friendship. In combat service, they tested the operation of the PZM-400 underwater sound beacon system (invention of officer N.V. Shupletsov and senior warrant officer O.K. Moiseenko, 27th submarine submarine), found the operation of a similar Turkish system at lower frequencies. The effectiveness of low-frequency underwater emitters made us think about improving and expanding tactical techniques for their combat use. While practicing combat training tasks with Romanian anti-submarine ships (PLC), the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating an on-board acoustic jamming device was accidentally born for the first time. In the same place, near Mangalia, they encountered a passive sonar system TAKTASS (US Navy Knox-class frigate), WHAT IS ZLST2- it was necessary to think about the possibility of countering detection. The decision was implemented later on the S-37.

In the summer of 1982, he was appointed senior assistant to the submarine of project 633 "S-53" (commander, Captain 2nd Rank VA Anikin). The very first acquaintance with this boat aroused fantastic feelings for this project. More advanced weapons, outer frames, body contours, screw nozzles.

True or not, that by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Gorshkov S.G. the submarine of project 633 was designed and entered the fleet: "As small and elusive as the naval project 613, but as powerful as the oceanic 641 project." De-mothballing, putting the ship into the fleet's constant readiness forces, mid-life repairs - gave knowledge of the ship's structure, skills in its management, the ability to rationalize the organization of repairs and rally the crew for the successful fulfillment of the tasks assigned by the commander. Business ties and friendly relations were established with the luminaries of supply and repair of the Technical Directorate and the Black Sea Fleet departments. I easily worked with the management, builders, engineers and workers of 13 Shipyard (Kilen Bay).

By September 1985, I had everything: knowledge, experience, beliefs, ideas, ideas, plus youth, energy and health - everything to get my ship and act. By the decision of the commander of the 14th DPL of the Black Sea Fleet, Captain 1st Rank V.A. I was introduced to the position of commander of the medium submarine "S-37" of project 633. I simply could not dream of more happiness than commanding the 633 project, and even with an average repair at 13 shipyards. By order of the Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Navy, he was appointed on October 11, 1985 as the commander of the S-37.

The ship was in a terrible state. He was physically and mentally worn out and required urgent treatment. The batteries barely breathed on the water, the durable case was not sealed, there was a spider web in the first compartment. The list could be continued indefinitely.

A couple of weeks later, the S-37 moored in the South Bay, became subordinate to the commander of the 153 submarine submarine Rear Admiral Tsarev Boris Mikhailovich. In due time, the boat got up for repairs at 13 Shipyard of the Black Sea Fleet. He convinced the brigade commander of the need to accommodate the crew on the large landing craft in the plant, worked out an autonomous organization and started repairs.

After leaving repairs, the S-37 was the division's quietest submarine for five years. Its real rivals in the Black and Mediterranean Seas were NATO submarines of the type "209", "Sauro" and "Agosta". Upon arrival in November 1987 at the permanent basing point, i.e. Feodosia, 475 submarines under the command of Captain 1st Rank Anatoly Filippovich Lutsenko, his first deputy for EMP, Captain 2nd Rank Anatoly Vladimirovich Bout, arrived aboard. His assessment was unequivocal: "I feel the reliability of the ship as never before."

1988 was the year of the formation of the battleship. In April, the S-37 submarine became part of the permanent readiness forces, in May it took up combat duty in the fleet, in June-July it took part in fleet exercises. Submarine detection ranges exceeded expectations. If in relation to the old projects of boats 690 and 613 the advantage was expected, then when working with the 641B it caused a touching feeling of satisfaction. And the tests of the stationary passive sonar system in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Main Fleet Base led to a war with the radio engineering department of the fleet.

Combat training began. "S-37" from 1988 to July 1993 took part in all exercises of the fleets and fleets of the Warsaw Pact countries. During this period, the success of torpedo firing was 92%, having completed 36 successful firing, one bad first PT-2 for violating the rules for conducting torpedo firing PMS-B-7 (torpedoes were scattered on opposite sides of the horizon of the attacked submarine) and the annoyingly failed prize firing of 1992 89 torpedoes fired, not one lost! I really loved shooting and, probably, instilled an attacking passion for the whole crew. Three times "37" was on combat duty in the fleet with a special combat unit of torpedoes (approximately two Nagasaki) from 6 to 9 months, one combat duty in a mine version - eight months. The assessment of the duties is "excellent".

The floatation of the ship was colossal, in 1988 - two motor resources, in 1989 and 1990. the service life was extended twice, officers and warrant officers were extremely rarely at home, the tension of the conscript service personnel was simply frenzied. Tangerine trips to the Caucasus and relaxing voyages to the "partisans" in the beautiful Odessa, then to the Golden Duke film festival, then to rest in Kuyalnik were an outlet. The sailors were proud of their ship, lovingly called the boat "Swallow". Thanks to the senior assistant commander, Captain 3rd Rank Konstantin Viktorovich Vinogradov, truly the head of the wardroom, a strong officer and warrant officer rallied on the boat, the service organization was easily and skillfully built - I felt the strength of my crew, confidence in its reliability, otherwise I did not risk would be different

times excessively. The S-37 was the best in the division for two years (1990 and 1991). It especially stood out for its long firing distances.

I would like to describe the fundamentally important moments of the S-37 during the period of my command, which gave the submarine something something that not every combat unit could give.

FIRST COMBAT BAPTISM
"MPZM-400"

During the exercises, the submarine was to search for a KON convoy with the execution of BU NT-4 "Attack of a detachment of warships (convoy)". Before going to sea, I asked the commander of the "B-380" Captain 2nd Rank I.V. Panasenko. take my soundograms MPZM-400, and since my area was located to the west of it, then after firing I will give him the time, place and parameters of the KOH movement.

Everything worked out great. "S-37" successfully fired, attacked the original detachment of the convoy, marching under the coast. While I was following the bearing to the informers of my torpedoes, I transmitted a soundogram three times, something like this

meant "Call" - "Latitude 44 ° 30" North "" Space "" Longitude 34 ° 32 "East" "Space" "Course 76 °" "Space" "Speed \u200b\u200b9 knots". Ivan Vasilievich received all my training and combat soundtracks. The range was 14-18 miles, the quality is excellent. Other boats also listened for signals, but, of course, the commanders did not understand anything, the range of confident reception was about 50 miles (there were simply no boats at a greater distance). It is quite a good experience for practicing joint submarine actions in tactical groups, although this is not foreseen for diesel submarines according to the TRPL. This target designation has been used repeatedly. The following year, at the exercises of the Naval Forces of the Warsaw Pact countries in Bulgaria, this decision point for the fulfillment of combat missions and again during the KON attack was approved by the head of the exercises. As part of the group, in addition to the "S-37" and Bulgarian submarines of the same project, the missile submarine of project 651 "B-318" (Commander Captain 1st Rank A.Ya. Babenko) participated. The result is positive, the boat is marked with the pennant "The Best Exercise Ship".

1. 1989 - the year of growth and consolidation of the skill of the S-37 crew. Three main episodes:

Episode one. "Attack" Kunakhovich *

MPK "Kunakhovich *" project 1141. The first anti-submarine ship on which I went to sea as an intermediary in July 1989 The ship recently left for repair to replace the right wing. The ship could not reach the design speed of 80 knots and was limited to the Shelon State Joint Stock Company with a lowered hydroacoustic base (GAB) - a masterpiece of science and industry. Under type III hydrological conditions, the S-376 submarine was found at a sharp heading angle at a distance of about 60 cables. One such winged cock is worth two KPUGs of the 30th PLK division.

Having received a combat order for the execution of BU NT-3, I had to recall all the details from the time of lowering and raising the GAB, being in a displacement state to reaching the wing and inertia until the ship came to a complete stop at the point of lowering the GAB. The task is to ensure firing from a distance that ensures the entry of torpedoes into the target's wake stream and overtakes it up to a speed of 28 knots. Otherwise, the torpedoes simply will not catch up with the target in a displacement state, which ensures the operation of a proximity fuse. In this case, the angle of entry of torpedoes into the wake jet (angle of attack), according to calculations, should be from 45 ° to 135 °. I had to get specific information about the ship, take into account its weaknesses. The information was obtained during a feast with my former neighbor, the flagship RTS 68 BRPL Yuri Kuzmin, and he did not really understand the reason for my curiosity. As a result:

The time intervals and standards for the combat use of the Shelon State Joint Stock Company were clarified;

Weak points of the ship were revealed.

KBR carefully performed calculations with the live participation of the divisional miner, Captain 3rd Rank V.A. I worked out for myself the algorithms of actions and the choice of shooting options.

1st option: firing two torpedoes

when approaching a jump (gaining the speed of the IPC) - the probability of covertly taking up a firing position and ensuring the angles of attack of torpedoes to the wake 45 ° ± 135 ° is no more than 20%. Approach with the 1st type of GLU at maximum depths (-220 ± 250 m), sharp heading angles and a course that provides an ascent to a depth of fire (100 m).

Option 2: firing two torpedoes when exiting a jump (reducing the speed of the IPC) - the probability of being in the firing position with maneuvering into the estimated firing area, providing torpedo attack angles to the wake 45 ° ± 135 °, is no more than 25%.

And the third option: 1st and 2nd torpedoes each.

As a result, they did not suffer for long. On the third jump, the second option worked successfully!

I had to diligently maneuver along the depth and course, taking into account the isobaths, ensuring the secrecy and working conditions of the KBR to determine the Kunakhovich's efficiency center. It was a bit like going through a minefield, you don't know if you've been discovered or not. It was tempting to give the IPC a false target. V. Vashchuk seemed to feel the "feathered" in his gut in all modes of movement and in drift. The crew provided the "Silence" mode with complete seriousness. everyone seemed to be listening to the outboard noises. Our calculations were accompanied by luck and luck.

Episode two.

The first shooting with "Pliers"

Two months later, the naval exercises were held, on the eve of the exercises of the Warsaw Pact countries. According to the combat order "S-37" was to attack a detachment of warships (BU NT-4). The composition of the OBK: the main goal - the Komsomolets Ukrainy, project 61, escort ships - 3 SKR project 1135. Hydrological conditions are not favorable for submarines. A weakly pronounced shock layer was located at a depth of only 15 h 20 meters, that is, the near-surface underwater sound channel is in the range of dangerous depths. The weak point of "37" was the lack of experience with periscope attacks (all attacks were purely acoustic). Poor training "commander - mechanic - boatswain" and the individual technical characteristics of the ship itself during the maneuver of ascent to the periscope created an increased risk to the detriment of safety and stealth. It was confident that the sonar signals and the incredible rumble of the elite of the fleet would provide sufficient conditions for detecting and observing the maneuvering of the PLC.

The forecasts were confirmed. I maneuvered around the center of the area. KBR worked smoothly. Separate direction finding of targets began at a distance of about 100 cable cables based on the GPS signals. "Komsomolets" unmasked itself by periodic operation of the "Platinum" sonar against the background of the "Titans". Operation only with sabotage sonars assumed a target speed of 18 ± 20 knots. At a distance of ~ 60 ± 80 cables, the noises of the screws made their way, the drawing of the order was revealed. I was maneuvering into the center of the noises. Finding myself almost under the escort ship at the firing depth and in the firing position, I was waiting for the target to turn just about. And then the noise disappeared, the main target entered the shadow zone at a distance of -30 cables. PUTS (torpedo firing control devices) "Leningrad" left to accompany the main target in the "machine". It remained to effectively evaluate the maneuvering of the terminal escort ship, but the noise contact with it was lost. It remained to go to the periscope. He began to circulate on the general course of the OBK and suddenly - happiness! The clear noise of the whistling turbines of the Singing Frigate (BOD 61 project), that is, the main target directly overhead. Shooting at the main target with "ticks" from a distance of 8 cables. Torpedo guidance was ensured, and the S-37's secrecy was also ensured. The end escort ship was attacked from the stern torpedo tubes.

Upon arrival at the base, accusations began of dangerous maneuvering on the periscope. The presence on board the flagship navigator of the division, Captain 2nd Rank V.A.Mishin, helped. The masters of periscope attacks did not believe in such shooting without floating. However, this is not how the winners are judged! Excellent rating.

Episode three. "Lucky Turk"

In the same 1989, in August or September, at the entrance to the Balaklava Bay, the main propeller motor (GGED) of the left side failed.

They gave three days to eliminate the malfunction and issued a combat order for a control search. While the mechanic fought alone with Tehuprom, he tried to call specialists from 13 SRZs for a fee, and the combat orders were changed three times. More accurately understood the task orally set by the division commander, Rear Admiral V.A. Kravchenko. I understood his plan as I understood it. From Feodosia, 12 hours before going to sea, the deputy battalion commander for EMC, Captain II Rank Dmitriev II, was summoned, as if he could replace the engine. Circumstances forced me to make a criminal decision and go to sea with one GGED. It was completely calm, and the maneuver of getting out of the bay under the right engine was not problematic. After a day of transition in various modes of movement in the surface and underwater positions, "C-37" took the search area 40 miles from Eregli and Amasr. The reconnaissance of the activities of the Turkish fleet forces in the combat training areas was carried out with a deliberate loss of secrecy. False soundograms of the MPZM-400 were periodically emitted, noises were made by the jamming device, and the negotiations of the ZPS were simulated.

A day later, they surfaced and began to move to the control search area of \u200b\u200bTurkish submarines south-west of Cape Sarych. The transition was carried out under diesel engines on jumps, periodically drifting. The idea was to attract the attention of Turkish forces and intelligence assets.

Before diving in the search strip, we lay in the drift and examined the horizon visually and with all technical means of observation for several hours. The visibility was excellent, the radar observability was very long-range. All target information has been recorded. About half an hour after the immersion on the right 132 °, the noise of the propellers was detected. The acoustician classified the contact a minute after the command. Slightly stuttering, Baschuk reported: "The noise of the submarine propellers." At first, I entered into a polemic with him, they say I wanted and heard. Vasily Nikolayevich showed that the tooth was on edge. First Mp K. Vinogradov and I took turns putting on headphones. Then I made a set of measures to confirm the classification of the noise: I surfaced on the periscope, looked around and made reconnaissance, slowly "rudder right 3 °" changed its course towards the target by 20 °, I made sure myself that there were several

their stable discrete. And only after that he approved the classification "submarine". There were analogs of tape recordings of various diesel-electric submarines, but this was clearly not the Balao. Approved 209 project. There can be no other, in principle. Continuing smooth circulation, "37" was on the aft course corners of the "Turks". When he came up for a three-time transmission of a radiogram about the detection of a foreign submarine, without waiting for a receipt, contact was lost for a short time. The Turkish commander determined the signs of his detection and began maneuvering with a smooth change in course, depth and increase in speed. The bearing to the Turk changed slowly, but Vasily listened to the increase in travel. Having exposed the MRB-206 with the latest information, I decided to keep contact actively. From the very first parcel of the Arctic, an echo was received at a distance of 16 cables. Having switched to the movement "right small forward", three minutes later they again sent a parcel on the direction finding. Distance 19 cables. And so for another 6 ± 7 minutes we, together with the Turk, increased the speed, maneuvering in a spiral, but only he had everything in order with his leg, and "37" is one-legged out of state. "Arctic" barely had time to charge the drives. Contact was lost at a distance of about 24 cables. Surfaced. Continuing on the tracking course, I established communication on VHF through a repeater with the operational of my division and reported the situation. Soon a Be-12 flew in and set up a semicircular barrier of radio acoustic buoys (RGAB). The pilot did not record the operation of the buoys, and I received a command from the fleet to walk along the barrier under the diesels. Went through. They didn't work.

The Turk was lucky. But she was in the territorial waters. If I could pick her up or confirm contact with buoys, I wouldn't have to listen to a bunch of nasty things from cleverof all stripes. It remains to envy the Turkish submariners - excellent batteries.

Almost under diesel engines I entered Balaklava. The boat was checked in full. Why the connection is bad, why is the boat dirty; why did you go so long and where did you come. But they did not focus on engine malfunctions. And Ivan Ilyich Dmitriev was waiting for "37". worried and, of course, repaired the left GGED. We were both glad we weren't punished. A month later, Vasily Bashchuk and Vasily Bashchuk were encouraged with valuable gifts (a hand watch "Elektronika") - the Leningrad Institute confirmed the noises of the project submarine 209 and the soundtrack on the RTS was replenished. The desire to continue to report on the discovery of a foreign submarine was gone.

"FIRST PERISCOPE ATTACK"

1990 started off well. During the dock repair, the RDP gas pipeline was put in order, which created problems during submersion and ascent and control of the submarine at periscope depth. I began to pay attention to periscope attacks in training. The commander of the warhead-3 Lieutenant-Commander Fedorenko I.V. worked as a torpedo electrician to enter data into torpedoes X, and X 2 , that is, the angles of the first and second turn from the central station. This made it possible to fire volleys in 8 ± 10 seconds. A special training method was used by the metrist for the development of visual memory and the accuracy of the radar data output in the “one-view” mode. Navigator Lieutenant Commander Andrei Yastrebov masterfully guided four targets simultaneously on the tablet.

Exactly one year after the attack of the Komsomolets Ukrainy, under the same hydrological conditions and in the same area, the S-37 carried out the first periscope attack. The detachment of warships had a similar composition, only instead of the Komsomolets Ukrainy, the main target was the anti-submarine cruiser Moskva.

The group target for sonar and radar operation was detected at a distance of about 30 miles. Separate direction finding for 120 kbt. "Moscow" was revealed immediately. The noise contact was lost at the estimated current distance of about 60 cables. Having broken through the layer of the jump at 20 meters, I surfaced on the periscope and detected the target turning directly towards myself. The distance to the main target was 61 cables. From a depth of 40 meters, he fired "pincers" from a distance of 52 cables. The angles of the first and second turn of the torpedoes were calculated on the Sh-26 tablet according to their own method. The bottom line is how to throw the torpedo into the firing position at the point of the second turn. And the second turn - with a lead angle ф ° from the target traverse, providing an angle of entry into the wake stream of 90 ° from a distance of 10 cables, covering the range of errors in the course or target turn after firing ± 30 °. The escort ship was attacked by two SAET-60M torpedoes from aft torpedo tubes. It looked something like this:

The officers of the divisional and naval headquarters, who watched the progress of the torpedoes on the shots of signal rackets, spoke with delight about the spectacular spectacle. They sighed as the rackets flew towards the cruiser and onto the deck. This shooting is disassembled on a used ESSO of the Russian Navy.

In August 1991, the command of the Black Sea Fleet and the Navy decided to combine the inspection of the Ministry of Defense of the South-Western Group of Forces with the inspection of the Black Sea Fleet. Everyone prepared hard. The naval part of the fleet exercises was planned from 17 to 21 August. According to the combat order, "S-37" was supposed to perform BU NT-3 and BU NT-4 according to DESO with reloading of torpedo tubes. The submarine was on alert in a mine version. The mines were unloaded in Feodosia, and practical torpedoes were accepted and loaded in Balaklava. The exercises began somehow incomprehensibly. The commanders of the boats participating in the events, with the solutions for fulfilling the assigned tasks, issued on the maps, were waiting for the report from 09.00 to 18.00 in cabins in 153 submarines. But they did not wait. The operational duty officer brought to us the order of the brigade commander: "There will be no hearing, act in accordance with military orders." This caused us bewilderment, a cheerful mood, and we gathered in the cabin at the table to see off the B-36 commander, Captain 2nd Rank Vasily Lyashka, to the academy. The feast ended at 2 am in a restaurant on Sapun Mountain. I arrived on the ship in Balaklava just in time for departure. I had the farthest area, and "37" went out for deployment first. This happened for the first time in the entire service. We left the bay, trimmed it and began a covert transition to their combat area. 28 hours underwater. At a distance of 9 miles from Cape Sarych decided to surface on the periscope for reconnaissance. Listened and surveyed the horizon, clean. In periscope the horizon is clear, haze, sunny, the sea is calm. The ether is empty, no combat messages, no false radio messages, no radiation. Surveyed the horizon with a radar, not a soul. I thought: "Serious teachings ?!" He lay down on a course of 180 °, stern to Sarych, blew the middle one. We went up to the bridge with the chief officer. We raised the radio direction-finding "Frame" and armed the antenna "Shtyr". Navigator and head of RTS on periscopes. There is an eight-mile "presidential security zone", the president is resting on Foros.

Literally five minutes later, we received a radiogram with the call signs "UMS, UMS, UMS" (to all warships at sea) via "Globus" (long-distance communication). We exchanged glances with the senior officer "Is there something wrong?" He ordered to hand over the RDO to the ransomware. The naval networks of operational-tactical communications continued radio silence. "Again, not clear ?!" At the same time, a decoded radiogram and a ZAS telegram of the same content were brought to the bridge. "To all submarines of the USSR Navy," tactical numbers are listed, about more than 30 units, including "S-37", "to surface to the surface, follow to the permanent basing points." Subscription number (literally 15 or 20 minutes before the reception, Commander-in-Chief. Okay, we, but judging by the tactical numbers "K" ashki carried military service somewhere in the oceans. "But not war - that's for sure!". At this time, the directive of the chief of the General Staff Navy "S-37" was listed as part of 155 SLBMs, loaded with practical weapons there. The boat was part of the forces on duty in the fleet, and military weapons remained in Feodosia. Dilemma, which is more important? Balaklava to clarify the situation. I wrote a radiogram: "I surfaced, there are no comments. I went into the drift Latitude and Longitude. Please indicate the point of return. Subscription number." I started charging the batteries while drifting and bombing all networks with my radio message. No receipt. -I radio networks are silent, no one answers the callsigns on VHF in the naval networks, for some reason the repeater does not work ?!

Received the report "The table is laid in the wardroom." After dinner, he looked with curiosity at the dacha through binoculars. Everything is quiet.

At about 20.00 we approached Feodosia. From the command of the fleet, he received an order to restore readiness to two hours in four hours and stand with his nose at the exit. Attempts to convince them of the impossibility of unloading six torpedoes and loading 2 torpedoes and 12 mines in four hours did not lead to success. After entering the outer roadstead of Feodosia, in violation of security measures, he gave the command to install a torpedo-loading device on the upper deck, moored with the installed TPU. For the first time I saw how the coastal base should work - a truck crane was standing on the pier in readiness for loading and the forces of the coastal base fed a torpedo to the pier (usually the submariners rolled them themselves). The chiefs of the services of the coastal base were standing, and everyone was interested in what supplies needed to be replenished. The reloading of ammunition into the nose began, which lasted until 4 am on August 20. Seeing that the crew was already "falling off its feet", and after all it was still necessary to overload the stern TA, I decided to give people a rest until 9 am. At 9 in the morning, they turned their nose towards the exit, created a trim on the bow, began to overload the stern TA. We finished at about 11 o'clock, forbade going ashore, lifted the ladder aboard and sat down when ready to leave (or rather, everyone simply slept corny). It all ended on the morning of August 21st. What then happened in Feodosia, even to remember is funny and bitter.

NEW COMMANDER OF THE FLEET

News of the change of the Fleet Commander "S-37" I found it in October 1991. I liked the short telegrams from the ZAS: “I took command of the fleet. Kasatonov "," I checked 41 brRK. The checkpoint sailor has no collar, there are naked women on the nightstands of the headquarters team, there are dead cockroaches in the canopy of the control room, garbage is burning in the trash cans, the brigade officer is not shaved. I did not reach the ships. The score is a solid two. Kasatonov. " etc. From Alakhadza (Caucasian coast), "37" was summoned to Balaklava. The commander of the 14th DPL, Captain 1st Rank Fedor Ivanovich Pogorelov, assigned me the task of preparing the boat for inspection by the Fleet Commander, for two days. The division commander even hinted that his next rank might depend on the results of the review. The promised help in paint, lubrication, mooring lines and rags, of course, was not there. The divisional berbase commander replied calmly that we were not on allowances, the division commander could not order him, and in general he did not care who Kasatonov was. The Balaklava fathers-commanders helped out as much as they could, and in the morning before the show they brought ten sets of new overalls, ten pairs of mittens and lubricants from Feodosia. The boat did not know paint for almost six months, since the May holidays. The case is rusty, like after six months of autonomy. I had to urgently rub the entire body with different grease to shine. Even the Komflot flag was stained with rust, which were rubbed with 2 grade flour. In general, ingenuity helped to show off brilliance, and the fighters always had knowledge. Having performed the ritual of meeting the Fleet Commander, the review of the ship began from the first compartment. The commander with the carrying did the inspection of the materiel like a true submariner, the questions were professional and specific. From the very first compartment, the admiral liked everything, and most of all the gallant look and smiles of the foremen and sailors. The second compartment consolidated the success laid down by the first. In the central post I was carried away by my stories by BPP "Proba", the work done to reduce noise, improve technology. He ordered to take note of practically everything. Then the review practically turned into an acquaintance with the sailors, with questions about mood, desire to serve, fluency, etc. In the seventh compartment I asked the youngest. He demanded to tell the order and rules of getting out of the sunken submarine through the entrance hatch. The answer was correct. I also made an entry in ZhBP about the review and two comments:

1. The Fleet Commander's overalls are not signed.
2. Submarine commander to replace the "crab" on the cap.

We left through the hatch of the seventh, and I was stunned. The show lasted about an hour. During this time, a light rain began and the body from the grease was stained with streaks of all colors of the rainbow. Moreover, on the water around the hull there are the same streaks. Allegedly supporting the Fleet Commander under the elbow, I tried to speed up the maneuver to deliver him to the pier.

Already on the way to Feodosia I read the ZAS telegram: “I reviewed the submarine“ S-37 ”14 DPL. Excellent rating. The best ship of the Black Sea Fleet. Kasatonov ".

One could describe many "everyday" moments on the S-37.

This is a repair at sea, with the creation of back pressure in the CPU, before the deep-sea tests of the high-speed pulp valve. The professionalism of the mechanic Sergei Novogribelsky, the bilge crew headed by the foreman of the team of bilge drivers Nikolai Trublin, the mutual assistance of the CP fighters who helped the bilge ones and the composure and self-control of the brigade commander Vladimir Aleksandrovich Popov.

This is a risky entrance to Balaklava during a storm of 4 ± 5 \u200b\u200bpoints with a wind from a wind tunnel up to 25 m / s with a cold-blooded and confident sailor-brigade commander Vladimir Prokopyevich Zhuchkov.

This is a difficult entry under a diesel engine to Poti under the same difficult conditions, when the divisional navigator refused to carry out the duties of a navigator with an entry in the logbook. The boat had no navigational accidents.

The S-37 was one of the first to be decommissioned from the fleet. The fleet commander granted my request and was written off with the transfer through ARVI to the national economy to create a functioning museum.

The identification systems and the ZAS were dismantled from the ship, everything else was intact, serviceable to the screws. And here "37" was the first. Only, as always, the idea was not understood and trampled on. Most likely I myself am to blame, I do not follow everything to the end. It's just hard to break through the routine. Together with the ship, I, midshipmen and young officers retired to the reserve: they understood that it would be even worse further. There is nowhere to continue the service and for nothing. The flag and jack were lowered by their own crew. * S-37 has always been her own, but alien and independent. We were not told thanks before the formation and did not shake hands. In my absence in Feodosia, the owner-businessman turned the S-37 into needles. Arriving in Sevastopol in "Vtormet", I cried and touched the torn body of my ship lying on the shore. In the compartments during the regular tests, there were and still emitted light and warmth native mechanisms and devices. You'd better die like 348.

One could say everything about perestroika and its results, but now it is obvious to everyone.

I would like to believe that the history of the Russian submarine forces is not over today.
